_~THE WORLD’S FINEST PLANT FOOD 
So declared by experts. For Bulbs, Lawns, Flower Gardens. Used exclusively at WAYSIDE 
in the production of millions of fine plants. 
Thousands of customers and strangers alike have 
visited WAYSIDE GARDENS. They have marvelled 
at our 600 miles of plants. They have been known to 
actually gasp for breath at the sheer beauty of 400 
acres of flowers brought to such a high degree of 
perfection. Invariably, they ask us the same question: 
“To what do you attribute the superior qualities 
of your flowers?” 
And invariably our answer is the same: ‘The chief 
reason for the high quality of WAYSIDE products 
. is due to the fact that we use only the very finest 
Plant Food that skill and money can produce!”’ 
It is whole-heartedly endorsed for our customers. 
You will agree that we have entirely too much at 
stake to afford to use any other kind. In addition to 
the enormous investment represented by our nurs- 
eries, we have a reputation to maintain among thou- 
sands of the most critical floral customers in the land. 
We prize and guard very jealously such possessions. 
. Contented only with the best we advise our 
customers to adopt the same attitude, in order that 
the fine specimens grown at WAYSIDE may be dupli- 
cated in your own garden. We recommend only that 
which we ourselves use. 
We Learn from the English 
We are indebted to a noted English gardener for the Exclusive 
Plant Food we use in growing millions of plants of superior quality. 
Among other things, he said: 
| ““K lawn should not be treated like a hayfield, but like a 
permanent garden. Therefore, | object to chemical fertilizers 
for lawns. It is not the QUANTITY of grass cut from the 
| lawn each week, but the DENSITY AND LUXURIANCE OF 
| THE GRASS which produces the effect of walking over a 
| thick velvet carpet that counts. If you want a thick lawn in 
which there is no room for weeds, it is essential that you 
| use a properly balanced ORGANIC Plant Food—one that 
sinks deeply into the soil for the grass or plant roots to go 
| after. That is where the moisture is, and you will find it un- 
necessary to water so much in summer ” 
Also it is excellent for spading into the Rose bed when you 
are preparing the Rose bed for winter. Use it generously in your 
bulb plantings and in any hardy flower border. 
In late summer and autumn your soil is in better condition than 
WAYSIDE’S superior Plant Food is made from bone meal, dried 
blood, ground fish, and muriate of potash, in proportions recom- 
mended by the “old country’ expert. These long-lasting ingredi- 
ents, heavy with life-producing qualities, give your flowers a 
well-balanced diet, containing in just the right amounts those 
things that go to make strong roots, sturdy stalks, bright green 
leaves, a profusion of foliage and an abundance of large and 
healthy blooms year in and year out. It does not stimulate, but 
nourishes any and all plants and imparts to them a youthful and 
lusty vigor. It disintegrates slowly. It is excellent to use in bulb 
plantings as well as in Rose beds, or hardy plant borders. Use it 
consistently year after year, and your garden will be among the 
most beautiful. 
Ideal for Rose Beds and Bulb Plantings 
in early spring. By working and preparing it prior to the approach 
of winter, you will have more leisure to enjoy its greater beauty— 
the satisfying rewards of your efforts—when Nature reanimates 
your bulbs and Roses next spring. 
How to Use Wayside Plant Food 
Nor do we need to use much of it to obtain 
the lasting magical results it produces. Further- 
more, it is easy to use and apply it. If your gar- 
den is an established one, apply twice a year, 
March first and October first. Use 15 to 25 pounds 
for top dressing a space 500 square feet for Hardy 
Flowering Plants, Shrubs, and Bulbs. In making a 
new garden, double the amount and mix with the 
soil. Planting may be done at once. No burning is 
possible. For old lawns, use 10 to 25 Ibs. for top 
dressing 500 sq. ft. For potted plants, a 3-inch 
potful mixed with a bushel of soil will give you 
Plants, Rock Plants, Roses, Annuals, and other splendid results.
